Abstract:
In suspended sludge system, efficient enrichment and retention of anammox bacteria are crucial obstacles in mainstream wastewater treatment by anammox process. In this study, anammox bacteria was self-enriched in a pilot-scale suspended sludge system of two-stage nitrification-denitrification process serving municipal wastewater treatment. With the low ammonia (NH4+-N) of 9.3 mg/L, nitrate (NO3--N) of 15.6 mg/L and COD/NO3--N of 2.2 under extremely low nitrogen loading rate of 0.012 kg N/m3/d, anammox activity bloomed after its abundance increasing from 5.9 x 107 to 4.6 x 109 copies/g dry sludge. Significant NH4+-N removal was occurred and maintained stably in the denitrification reactor with anammox bacteria accounting for 1.13%, even under temperature decreasing to 20.0celcius. The adequately anoxic environment, efficient retention with the static settlement, and NO2- production via NO3- reduction provided favorable environment for anammox bacteria. This study demonstrated the feasibility and great potential in mainstream anammox application without seeding specific sludge.
